Leeds United have agreed a four-and-a-half-year contract with highly rated Italian goalkeeper Elia Caprile and are now finalising his arrival.
The Whites have been alerted to the 18-year-old's talents and believe he is a hot prospect for the future.
Caprile is on the books at Italian side Chievo Verona, but is set to continue his career at Elland Road under the watchful eye of Marcelo Bielsa.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Caprile has agreed a contract running until the summer of 2024 with the English giants.
He is due to head to England to undergo a medical with Leeds this coming weekend.
It is unclear if Caprile will be in attendance when Leeds play Sheffield Wednesday in a Championship fixture on Saturday at Elland Road.
He will add to Bielsa's goalkeeping options at the club, but is likely to be battling to be third choice, with Kiko Casilla the club's number 1 and Illhan Meslier operating as backup.
Chievo, who Leeds did business with for another goalkeeper in the shape of Marco Silvestri in 2014, currently sit tenth in the Serie B standings.
